Using the Common Dialog Control
with WinHelp and VB5/6

    Download the WinHelp Common Dialog sample

The Common Dialog control's ShowHelp method has always been Microsoft's recommended process for displaying WinHelp topics and structures. This small sample will show you how to:

  • Open the Contents and Index tabs of the WinHelp dialog
  • Display a topic using a Topic ID
  • Display a topic using a keyword

Note that there's no known method for opening the Find tab of the WinHelp dialog using the Common Dialog control. To do so, you'd need to use the WinHelp API.
